Filmmaker Inadelso Cossa visits his grandmother’s village in Mozambique. Victims, perpetrators, former rebel fighters and surviving civilians live here. The grandmother survived the cruel civil war that cost nearly a million lives but now struggles to preserve her memories. Through the medium of nightmares, sounds, absent images and a child’s black-and-white photo in dry foliage, the film – slowly and in fragments – explores the memory of the civil war in Mozambique, which lasted from 1977 to 1992.
In collaboration with Film fra Sør and Co produced by Elisa Fernanda Pirir (Stær AS)
Presented with Black History Month - This October, BHMN 2024 celebrates the theme "Liberation and Imagination." The theme, deeply rooted in the diverse experiences of Black collective movements and the personal expressions of freedom, serves as a lens through which we examine the complexities of liberation.
